Akynzeo 300mg/0.5mg Capsule

Akynzeo 300mg/0.5mg Capsule is a fixed-dose combination medication containing Netupitant (300mg) and Palonosetron (0.5mg). It is used to prevent nausea and vomiting brought on by chemotherapy for cancer, including chemotherapy that is both severely and mildly emetogenic.

Brand Name: Akynzeo

Composition: Netupitant (300mg), Palonosetron (0.5mg)

Mechanism of Action:

Netupitant and Palonosetron work together to prevent chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) by targeting different phases of the condition. Netupitant lessens the effects of substance P, a major contributor to the delayed phase of CINV, by blocking NK1 receptors in the central nervous system. In the meanwhile, palonosetron successfully stops the acute phase of CINV by blocking 5-HT3 receptors in the brain and gastrointestinal system. Comprehensive protection against chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting is offered by this dual mechanism.
